Finally my bike arrived this weekend after waiting for the high-bars kit conversion and that's how the brand new bike came from the dealer, the left side tail cowl is not installed properly, it's crooked.
How can It be fixed?
Many Thanks
Chris

Remove the seat, remove the 3 visible torx bolts on the upper part of the red fairing, remove the 2 lower torx bolts on the bottom near the footpeg brackets.

Slide the tail fairing back. What you'll need to do is sort of pull the front portion of the fairing outward on each side as you slide it forward over the lip of the lower black plastic.

From what I can tell from the pic it looks like the left side is not compleatly underneath seat pan pull the seat and the bolts out of the tail section and move it around till it drops into place. not hard just got to play with it.

So much for that pre-delivery inspection ; ) Pretty easy fix though, just like the guys above said. Enjoy the new ride!

thats how you got the bike?!? thats ridiculous that they didnt catch that during the PDI. try going to the dealer over that maybe you can squeeze something out of them for doing such a sloppy PDI.

Easy enough fix but you shouldnt have to be wrenching on your brand new bike directly from the dealer unless your doing some sort of mod right away
